“Terrific skater capable of jumping up in the play and creating odd man rushes”
“Has a nasty, physical side where he can be an intimidating defender to play against when he wants to be”
“Big-time shot and has improved his accuracy”
“Consistency has plagued him throughout his Junior career, though he had a solid pro rookie season ”
“Has some nice skill & offensive instincts, but can be a bit too overconfident in his abilities at times”
“Decision making may ultimately be his Achilles heel“
